This formal debate will attempt to explore the “tension points” around the ethical and moral questions of military violence in today’s world, while modeling the nonviolent process by which we can engage in reasoned, academic, passionate, civil, and loving disagreement on matters of great import.

Participants:
Lt. Col. Eric Patterson, U.S. Army (ret.), director of veterans affairs and international services
Megan T. Wilson-Reitz, lecturer in Theology and Religious Studies
Moderated by John Scarano, director of Campus Ministry
